LAYER: C-SECURE · ON
The page you forward to your IT guy.
Written to be approved in ninety seconds. The design principle behind everything below: your files never leave your systems, because the engineer comes to your environment instead of your data coming to ours.
Access architecture.
The engineer is a remote user of your systems — the same posture as a staff member working from home, governed by the same controls.
TECHNICAL SETUP
ConnectionRemote desktop / VDI into your workstation or server (RDP over VPN, Splashtop, Azure Virtual Desktop — whatever you already run).
File transferNone. No files transmitted to us, stored by us, or synced anywhere. Work is created and stays on your server.
LicensingYour Civil 3D seat, your named user — clean under Autodesk terms, and your templates behave because it's your install.
IdentityAn account you create, permissions you set, MFA enforced. You can scope access to project folders as narrowly as you like.
OffboardingEnding access = disabling one account. Nothing to claw back, because nothing ever left.
MonitoringYour environment, your logs. Every action the engineer takes is visible to you by default.
Paper & people.
The legal and employment layer, stated plainly.
CONTRACTUAL & EMPLOYMENT STRUCTURE
ConfidentialityNDA between StoneBrief and your firm; a matching confidentiality agreement binds each engineer individually.
BackgroundIdentity, degree, and reference verification on every engineer; checks documented in the vetting file you receive.
EmploymentEngineers are lawfully employed in Colombia through an established employer-of-record: payroll, benefits, severance, labor compliance handled. You have no employment relationship, ever — no co-employment exposure, no misclassification risk.
IPAll work product is yours, created on your systems, assigned in writing in the seat agreement.
InsuranceWe carry general liability; your professional liability posture is unchanged — your PE directs and seals exactly as before, and nothing in the arrangement touches your E&O terms.
Two things we'll say before you ask. Public-contract work: some agency and DOT contracts restrict offshore access to project data — seats serve your private-sector book, and we'll flag the boundary in scoping. Client optics: nothing about the arrangement is visible to your clients — same deliverables, same seal, same firm — but if you'd rather disclose it proudly ("we solved our capacity problem"), several of the best firms do exactly that.
